Leave a comment

Thank you for the wind and rain…
Thank you for the sun.
Thank you for what I have now…
And all the good things to come.
Every morning when I wake…
Before I start my day.
I think of all the good things…
That will come my way. – Chris Cade

How To Live Completely In The Moment

Leave a comment

It lives completely in the present, and perceives nothing more than what is at this moment. – Alan W. Watts

consciousness!

Our ‘primary consciousness’ only knows the present. Our mind generates thoughts about everything. That generation of thoughts takes us away from the primary moment which is now.

thoughts!

Our thoughts try to continually process what has already happened or try to predict what might happen. When we drop into fully experiencing what’s going on especially with our full mind, body and soul, thoughts disappear. The essential trick to being fully present is to be able to control the generation of thoughts…

Why Perspective Matters…

Leave a comment

Every situation, properly perceived, becomes an opportunity to heal.  – A Course in Miracles (ACIM)

the small picture

We’re head-deep into maya, or what we may call the ‘small picture’. Our view and experience is extremely circumscribed. We’re boxed in by our culture, our country, our gender, our thoughts (assumptions/biases) and by matter itself. What’s the divine purpose behind this setup?

the big picture

Only by glimpsing the big picture can we hope to feel better about all that goes on in our lives and around the world. That glimpse is more easily caught when we believe in a Creator in whom we have faith. Faith and hope are the vehicles which can bring us peace in the current moment. Once we find that peace then healing (of any sort) can start to take place. And only then can we glimpse Life’s purpose…

How To Be Renewed!

May the rain wash away your worries, may the breeze blow new strength into your being.  – Apache Blessing

blessings

Blessings are being showered upon us wherever and whenever we pay attention. It’s all in how we view life and its gifts.

rain

God’s love rains on us constantly. If we receive this love we are renewed just like the planet. We’re then able to give to others what we didn’t have.

The Art Of Being…

Leave a comment

The value of life does not depend upon the place we occupy. It depends upon the way we occupy that place.  – Thérèse of Lisieux

do

We focus mostly on our ‘place’ in life. I.e. what we’ve earned or achieved in life or in our jobs. In other words we underscore what we’ve done and what we’ve gathered along the way.

be

The ‘way’ we do our job, play our roles as a child, sibling, spouse or parent appears to be more important. The ‘way’ we show up as a human being, as a student, a worker and as a world citizen seems more crucial. Being must come first. Being must come from our core values and from our high ideals. Being must also come from our aspirations and hopes. Then what follows, the doing, will be of greater value! More here: BeZenDo Revisited!

How To Play The Game Of Life…

Leave a comment

The game of life is a game of boomerangs. Our thoughts, deeds and words return to us sooner or later with astounding accuracy.  – Florence Scovel Shinn

essential truth

An essential truth that we must grasp: We are creators. We create or co-create our present and future circumstances.

children of god

We must fully grasp our status as children of God. That’ll do at least two things for us:

1) We’ll be more certain of our place in this safe, beautiful and infinite Universe.

2) We’ll become better partners with Divinity.

Life truly is good, we have nothing to worry about, let’s rejoice!!
